**************************************************************************** ***************

Paige walked up the stairs of a really dank hotel. 'What a dump!' She thought to herself

Paige stood outside the door number Sam had given her. She hesitated for a second before knocking.

A guy answered the door topless. "Who the hell are you?" He demanded

"Are you Ryan?" Paige asked, obviously disgusted

"Who wants to know?" He retorted

"I'm looking for my sister, Sam. Is this the right place?"

The guy leaned back in the doorway and shouted for Sam.

"SAM! You got a visitor, Girl!"

Ryan stepped away from the doorframe so Paige could enter. Paige took a few steps. The place reeked on alcohol, smoke and weed.

"What the hell do you want?" Asked Sam, holding a ciggerette in her hand

Paige jumped in surprise. "Hello to you too!"

Sam crossed her arms. "What do you want?" She asked again

"Where's Ryan's parents?" Paige asked, it was obvious she wasn't living with them

"Probably at their house!" Sam retorted.

"You said you guys still lived with them"

"I lied" Sam finished calmly, taking a puff of her cig just to irritate Paige

"I came over to invite you to dinner tonight at the Manor, I think we need to talk about some things" Paige offered just as calmly

"I'm busy, now get out" Sam said without out hesitation

"What happened? Yesterday you were nice and collected!" Paige asked in repulsion

"I was probably high, anyone who actually knows me, knows that I'm never nice. Oh, I'm sorry I forgot. You don't know me!"

"Just be there at 6:00" Paige finished the conversation by storming out.

Ryan walked over to Sam and put his arm her waist. He had sat down on their couch when Paige came in.

"Who was that?" He asked

"No one important" Sam replied storming into their bedroom and slamming the door.

5:50pm -

"Paige, I'm sure she'll be here!" Phoebe tried to sooth her sister

"Yea, come on sweetie. She'll show, she still loves you, if she didn't she wouldn't have been here yesterday" Piper said as she finished setting the table

Fifteen minutes later once everyone had just finished sitting down the doorbell rang. Paige started to jump up but Piper stopped her and rose out of her own seat. "I'm closer. Just sit down. No one start eating!" He warned

Piper walked to the door and opened it. Unsurprisingly Sam stood there.

"Hi" Greeted Piper

Sam quickly raised her eyebrows and said hey back.

"Come on in" Piper backed away, opening the door more.

"Sorry I'm late" Sam said, walking in

"It's okay; we just sat down anyways"

Sam stood there for a minute not knowing what to do.

"Can I take your coat?" Piper offered

"Sure, thanks" Sam shrugged her jacket off her shoulders and handed it to Piper

Piper led Sam into the dining room and they both sat down.

"Help yourself to the food" Phoebe told Sam as Piper set a plate down.

"Uh, thanks" Sam replied

She took a roll, a small portion of potatoes and a few carrots. Yet she still didn't even eat what she took. Paige looked like she really wanted to ask why, but couldn't word it. Nobody said hardly a word. A almost ringing sound but different interrupted the silence. Sam reached into her jean pocket and removed a beeper.

"Do you need the phone, it's just around -" Leo started

Sam snapped her head up and quickly said No.

"NO! Um, sorry no. It's just a little hello message that's from a friend" She lied

Silence quickly covered the room once more. After dinner Sam still barely touched her food. Paige and her walked to the living room.

"Not hungry?" Paige asked, trying to make conversation

"Uh, not really no" Sam said

Paige nodded in reply, trying to think of something else to say but couldn't find the words.

"So... what do you do?" She finally asked

"Huh?" Sam asked in confusion

"Still in school?"

"Until I get kicked out, should be any day now"

Paige asked a question burning on her tongue.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you doing any of this to yourself?"

At this point Piper, Phoebe and Leo entered the room now knowing they were entering a war.

Sam got out of her seat. "Why not? You seem to be doing just fine!" She retorted "Let's see you stopped probably when you were what? 21?"

"Seventeen!" "Seventeen, Ooh la la! I got two years left and how about then you start to bitch at me?"

"Sam, I stopped because I nearly died when I was seventeen! I ended up in the hospital and was in there for about three weeks! don't you remember?" Paige admitted through screaming "I don't want that to happen to you!"

"Well you're too late alright? All the doctors in the San Francisco area probably know me on a first name basis by now Paige! All kinds of reasons. Emergency Room, Trauma Ward you name it I've been there!"

"Then why don't you use your head and stop then if you know what can happen?"

"Because I can't! I like it! It's worth going to be the hospital every damn week!"

"How are you even getting the money for all anything?"

They were both screaming at each other with every word out of there mouths. Piper, Phoebe and Leo watched in shock at everything Paige was admitting, they never knew any of it.

"How do you think Paige! how did you get money for everything?!"

"Ohmigod! Why did you even start this crap in the first place?!" Tears strolled down Paige's cheeks. She was watching her sister throw her life away

"Hmm, let's think about that for a minute. Who was the one person I always, always looked up to as a child? Oh yea, I remember you!" With that Sam ran out the house.
